After a £100 million investment, British Airways put its new First cabin into service this week on a Boeing 777 flight to Chicago.

The introduction of personal electronic blinds is a first for a commercial airline. In general, its design dates back to 1920s luxury travel with features including leather-bound writing desks and personal wardrobes.

British Airways’ head of customer experience Mark Hassell, said: “We have contemporised First and created an intimate private jet experience onboard.”

The bed is 60% wider at shoulder-height than the old model and can be adjusted by precision controls. Each suite includes a buddy seat so that couples may dine together as well as a 15” inflight entertainment screen.

Adjustable mood lighting works in connection with the new cabin crew service style that gives passengers freedom to eat, sleep, or work when they want.
